The '''RIM-174 Standard Extended Range Active Missile''' ('''ERAM'''), or '''Standard Missile 6''' ('''SM-6'''), is a missile in current production for the United States Navy (USN) by RTX. It was designed for extended-range anti-air warfare (ER-AAW) purposes, providing capability against fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, anti-ship cruise missiles in flight, both over sea and land, and terminal ballistic missile defense. It can also be used as a high-speed anti-ship missile.<ref>{{cite web |last=Majumdar |first= Dave |date=8 March 2016 |title=How to Sink Warships: U.S. Navy Reveals Anti-Ship SM-6 Missile |url= http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/how-sink-battleships-us-navys-anti-ship-sm-6-missile-15436 |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160309082510/http://www.nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/how-sink-battleships-us-navys-anti-ship-sm-6-missile-15436 |archive-date=9 March 2016 |website=The National Interest}}</ref> The missile uses the airframe of the earlier SM-2ER Block IV (RIM-156A) missile,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Standard Missile-6 |url= http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/standard_missile/sm-6/ |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121028192809/http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/standard_missile/sm-6/ |archive-date= 28 October 2012 |access-date=10 February 2011 | publisher =Raytheon }}</ref> adding the active radar homing seeker from the AIM-120C AMRAAM in place of the semi‑active seeker of the previous design.

== Description == thumb|left|SM-6 Missile profile

The Standard ERAM is a two-stage missile with a booster stage and a second stage. It is similar in appearance to the RIM-156A Standard missile. The radar seeker is an enlarged version adapted from the AIM-120C AMRAAM seeker ({{convert|13.5|in|cm|abbr=on}} versus {{convert|7|in|cm|abbr=on}}). The missile may be employed in a number of modes: inertially guided to target with terminal acquisition using active radar seeker, semi‑active radar homing all the way, or an over-the-horizon shot with Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC). The missile is also capable of terminal ballistic missile defense as a supplement to the Standard Missile 3 (RIM-161).

The SM-6 offers extended range over previous SM-2 series missiles, primarily being able to intercept very high altitude or sea-skimming anti-ship missiles, and is also capable of performing terminal phase ballistic missile defense. The SM-6 can also function as a high-speed anti-ship missile. It can discriminate targets using its dual-mode seeker, with the semi‑active seeker relying on a ship-based illuminator to highlight the target and the active seeker having the missile itself send out an electromagnetic signal; the active seeker has the ability to detect a land-based cruise missile amid ground features, even from behind a mountain. The multi-mission SM-6 is engineered with the aerodynamics of an SM-2, the propulsion booster stack of the SM-3, and the front-end configuration of the AIM-120 AMRAAM.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Osborn |first=Kris |date=20 August 2014 |title=Navy Missile Hits Subsonic Target Over Land |url=https://www.military.com/defensetech/2014/08/20/navy-missile-hits-subsonic-target-over-land |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180703220942/https://www.military.com/defensetech/2014/08/20/navy-missile-hits-subsonic-target-over-land |archive-date=3 July 2018 |website=military.com}}</ref> Estimates of the SM-6's range vary; its official published range is {{convert|130|nmi|mi km|abbr=on}},<ref name="popularmechanics10feb16"/> but it could be anywhere from {{convert|200|nmi|mi km|abbr=on}}<ref>{{Cite web |last=LaGrone |first=Sam |date=4 February 2016 |title=SECDEF Carter Confirms Navy Developing Supersonic Anti-Ship Missile for Cruisers, Destroyers |url=https://news.usni.org/2016/02/04/secdef-carter-confirms-navy-developing-supersonic-anti-ship-missile-for-cruisers-destroyers |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160206085018/http://news.usni.org/2016/02/04/secdef-carter-confirms-navy-developing-supersonic-anti-ship-missile-for-cruisers-destroyers |archive-date=6 February 2016 |website=U.S. Naval Institute}}</ref> to as much as {{convert|250|nmi|mi km|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Majumdar |first=Dave |date=5 February 2016 |title=Sinking Enemy Warships: the U.S. Navy's Fiery New Weapon |url=https://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/sinking-enemy-warships-the-us-navys-fiery-new-weapon-15132 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160206080531/http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/sinking-enemy-warships-the-us-navys-fiery-new-weapon-15132 |archive-date=6 February 2016 |website=National Interest}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Freedberg Jr |first=Sydney J. |date=6 November 2020 |title=Army Picks Tomahawk & SM-6 For Mid-Range Missiles |url=https://breakingdefense.com/2020/11/army-picks-tomahawk-sm-6-for-mid-range-missiles/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231205125415/https://breakingdefense.com/2020/11/army-picks-tomahawk-sm-6-for-mid-range-missiles/ |archive-date=5 December 2023 |website=Breaking Defense}}</ref>

The SM-6 Block IB is currently in final stage development, with production expected to begin in late fiscal year 2024. The variant is to improve on the existing capabilities of the SM-6 series by incorporating a larger 53 cm (21-inch) diameter motor for greater range and speed. The Block IB variant is intended to achieve hypersonic speeds, making it highly effective against both aerial and surface targets.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://insidedefense.com/daily-news/dod-break-out-sm-6-reporting-new-hypersonic-strike-and-defense-missiles|title=DOD to break out SM-6 reporting of new hypersonic strike and defense missiles | InsideDefense.com|website=insidedefense.com}}</ref>

The second increment of the SM-6 Sea Based Terminal is a modification to Raytheon’s missile quickly fielded to provide defense against hypersonic weapons in their terminal flight phase. It will serve as an interim solution until the Glide Phase Interceptor becomes available.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://aviationweek.com/shows-events/smd-symposium/mda-plans-field-sm-6-counter-hypersonic-update-25|title=MDA Plans To Field SM-6 Counter-Hypersonic Update In '25 | Aviation Week Network|website=aviationweek.com}}</ref>

== History == Raytheon entered a contract in 2004 to develop the missile for the United States Navy after the cancellation of the Standard Missile 2 extended range block IVA (RIM-156B).

On 28 July 2015, the Navy tested the modified SM-6 Dual I version to successfully intercept a ballistic missile target in the terminal phase, the last few seconds before it would impact; the Dual I upgrade adds a more powerful processor that runs more sophisticated targeting software to hit a warhead descending from the upper atmosphere at extreme speed. This adds to the fleet's missile defense capabilities by allowing it to intercept ballistic missiles that could not be hit by SM-3 missiles, which target missiles in the midcourse phase. The Navy had used the SM-2 Block IV as a terminal ballistic interceptor, but the SM-6 combines missile defense with traditional cruise missile and aircraft interdiction in the same package.
